Make a batch of finished circles first. Then, find the hex size to fit in the circle, (you can do all this on paper first to make a patt). Then just sew back to back, in this pic the backs are all white, in rows, press open and sew down the petals - I think that would work and it would be done when you got to the size you wanted sharet
Look: if we "open" the white petal, what results is not a circle...
It seems to me that we need to begin with a "flower 6 petal" shape...
What do you think???

This is exactly what I'm doing right now with a piece of paper. But it is not enough... doing this (I hope my "English" is understandable... LOL) what happens is that we have a smaller "white petal"...

This pattern is a mock cathedral window. Cut two flower shaped pieces, one for the center and one for the petals. Center a square of batting (if you want) stitch all the way around with right sides together. Make a little snip in the center fabric where the petals will fold over and cover it. Turn right side out. Make a bunch of them, fold the petals over and stitch them together. No curved piecing.
